Originally from jkrowling.com; reprinted by cliphoto.com. Accessed [[21 March]] [[2006]]</ref> she actually has no middle name, hence her full name when her first ''Harry Potter'' book was published was simply "Joanne Rowling". Before publishing her first book, her publisher [[Bloomsbury Publishing Plc|Bloomsbury]] feared that the target audience of young boys might be reluctant to buy books written by a female author. It requested that Rowling use two initials, rather than reveal her first name. As she had no middle name, she chose ''K''. for Kathleen as the second initial of her pseudonym, from her paternal grandmother. The name Kathleen has never been part of her real name.<ref name="darkmark-bbc" /> Following her marriage, her legal name is ''Joanne Murray''.<ref name=david> [http://media.guardian.co.uk/presspublishing/story/0,,2143458,00.html Judge rules against JK Rowling in privacy case].

As a child, Rowling enjoyed writing fantasy stories, which she often read to her sister. "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it," she recalls, "Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee."<ref name=bio />
